Well, this challenge brings a lot of emotions to a lot of people ... Teachers (like me) are sad that our summer is over & we have to go back to work, excited to see what the new year brings, and overwhelmed with the amount of stuff we have to get done; Parents are sad, excited, stressed, some even anxious about what the upcoming year holds for their children! And we won't even get into the emotions the STUDENTS are feeling...LOL....poor things!!!!! So, to overshadow all of those emotions, we have some EYE CANDY for you today!!!! Take a peek at what the Design Team members have created for you! Be sure to pop by their blogs to check out their fabulous work!!!

Remember, you can win a $25 shopping spree at Simon Says Stamp just by entering your Back to School card with Mr. Linky!!! Please remember to link to us in your blog posting so people reading your blog know where to find us! We will draw a winner next Wed. Also, be sure to check ALL of the Design Team blogs for some HIDDEN candy this week!!!! More chances to win!!!! Yahooo!!!!
